Is Darren Rizzi The Right Choice For New Orleans Saints Next Head Coach?
New Orleans Saints Interim Head Coach Darren Rizzi has started off his full-time audition well at 2-and-0 with wins over the Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns. He became the second head coach in Saints history to start his tenure 2-and-0. The first since Sean Payton. And while a Payton-like start doesn’t guarantee a Payton-like peak, things are looking good for Rizzi. Alvin Kamara, Demario Davis, Derek Carr and many other players looked rejuvenated behind him and Taysom Hill just had what may have been his best career game. Meanwhile Saints fans are energized. With six games left, Rizzi has made a compelling case so far.
Taliese Fuaga is looking like a potential All-Pro player in his play against defensive end Myles Garrett. Taysom day breaks a Next Gen Stats record and Alvin Kamara is one receiving touchdown away from etching his name in the history books yet again.

He can stay but not as head coach……
Broo u tripping.. This Guy Definitely should at least get a full year and then contract Extension
Rizzmania or Rizzsainty should be a billboard all over Louisiana.
So far so good, he's got an extended audition period… 4-4 gets him in the conversation.
But let's say the DET OC comes a calling.
They got to play to get better Penning year 1 hurt year 2 Doug Marrone there some who can go right out of the gate Ruiz and Penning wasn't that next year they will be good
Rizzi could be, but they should still do the interview process after the season. Winning 2 games against 2 teams, 1 bad and 1 on a downward trajectory, shouldn’t automatically give him the job. We did that with Dennis Allen, hiring within. Something new might be the choice after interviewing. But if it’s rizzi after interviewing, then ok. Def need some big roster changes though and make it younger.
I say give him a contract extension Mr. Ross Jackson. I love absolutely love 💯 his Alpha aggressiveness.
Can't have a Sheep leading Lions lol
I don't know why people are even acting like we have a choice. Who TF is going to want to take over a team with our aging player personnel, salary cap situation and no relief in sight for a few years??? Rizzi is the ONLY one who would be interested in this job. QUIT ACTING LIKE ANYONE ELSE WANTS THIS S#*TY JOB 😂
THE RIZZLER SHOULD BE OUR NEXT HEAD COACH!!!!
Ross, can you address the talent void at GM?
Kahi Harley should be named GM with Mickey taking a Executive role. Then allow Harley to decide the direction of this franchise moving fwd… its time.
Bring in a fresh face, we already been through this with DA
Stop jumping the gun. 2-0 should not be a stat to hold high. This is ridiculous.
For Rizzi to get the job… just keep winning and it will happen. 5-3 gets him consideration. Better than that makes him the favorite.
Thanks Ross great info as usual.
He's the 2nd coach after Payton. 2-0 😂 it's not a big deal
It's just 2 wins…😂😂
Nobody gonna pick the saints to win vs the rams
Rizzi has a bye week… if he wants to be this teams HC he should beat or at the minimum comptete vs the Rams if not its over. This will be a clear indication on his coaching style. Can he get these guys up vs a good opponent after a long layoff?
??? Rizzler strikes again ???😂?😂?
I say we need to interview coaches at the end of the year
Hype can go a long way, but let's see when they face a hard team.I am not sold on hype, I get excited over longevity of winning
Under Rizzi we'd have 3/4 more wins. ML appointed the wrong coach smh !
